Ingredients
- Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon, for garnish
- Green onions
- 2, chopped, for garnish
- Carrot
- 1, julienned
- Bell pepper
- 1, sliced
- Onion
- 1, sliced
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Chicken breast
- 1 lb, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to form the marinade.
- Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring the pieces are well coated. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over a medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir fry everything together for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Garnish your Spicy Korean Chicken Stir Fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added aroma and a pop of color.
- Serve your dish hot. It pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles for a complete, satisfying meal.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a dollop of Gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the marinade.
- Marinating the chicken for longer, up to 2 hours, will enhance the flavor.
- Adding other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms can add another layer of flavor and texture.
